In July 2017 a convoy of lorries delivering drilling equipment to the Preston New Road fracking site was spontaneous brought to a halt by protestors. Four people took the opportunity to climb up on top of the cabs of the lorries and between them stayed in occupation for 99 and a half hours, supported by supplies from locals. You can hear more about why in the video below.

After a 7 day jury trial in August at Preston Crown Court they were found guilty of Public Nuisance. They were told to expect custodial sentences and were bailed to return.

The sentencing proceedings began on 25 September (covered by The Guardian, and Drill or Drop).

They can expect to serve half of this time in jail, the rest on licence.

Julian Brock, 47 had already served 3 months inside for non appearance at previous hearing. He received 12 months custodial sentence, which unlike the others was suspended due to his guilty plea – meaning he is thankfully now free.

IPP prisoner Taylor has been moved to segregation unit in HMP Downview.

Segregation units seriously impact the mental health of prisoners, with 23 hours out of every 24 spent in solitary confinement. It is widely known that segregation increases the rates of depression and risk of self-harm for people.

Taylor has a long history of self-harm in prison. IPP sentencing doesn’t give prisoners a release date, this combined with the ongoing neglect, abuse, transphobia and general trauma of the prison system has slowly destroyed Taylor’s mental health.

We are calling out to everyone to offer their solidarity and end the isolation by writing to Taylor now at this address:

Claire Taylor A7974AX

HMP Downview

Sutton Lane

Sutton

Surrey

SM2 5PD

Taylor is a Trans Masculine prisoner in a women’s prison, Taylor loves animals. They used to rescue dogs on the out, and especially loves staffies. They love the ocean and grew up by the sea. They also love tattoos and piercings.

Osman Evcan gained the victory from the determined struggle which he put
his life against the state inside the thick walls of prison which he is
enclosed. Osman , got everything he demanded through this hard period
without surrendering to the state.

Evcan has been taken from the one-person cell, where he has been kept
for two years, to another room and has been allowed to use his right to
do sports and engage in conversation. Evcan will also be provided with a
vegan menu.

He fainted yesterday and was taken to the medical room. After Evcan
rejected treatment at the medical room, his requests were accepted by
the prison administration.

Osman Evcan ended his indefinite hunger strike which took 44 days
against intimidation, torture and extermination politics against
prisoners and again he proved us that how he is right about his call to
raise struggle. He continued his resistance resolutely by choosing to
die with honor is the only reason why he’s demands are excepted.
He is grateful to everyone who have held demonstrations, spoken up, and
support for Osman Evcan’s cause. Osman Evcan is now trying to get over
the adverse effects of the hunger strike process, and his present health
condition is fine. We will share the message from Osman Evcan soon.

Since 2012 I have been seriously harassed and stalked by the (ministry of justice) it all started when I was accepted into the (CSC) system (close supervision centres) within the high security prison estate for an alleged allegation of assault witch I was later exonerated of.

I was not in prison for a violent crime defined by law, I was in prison for (blackmail x 2) and revived 9 years reduced to a six years on appeal

I spent over 19 months within this system and believe me now I have never experienced so much abuse, corruption, sick and evil treatment of people in my whole life.

I suffered abuse at the hands of these so called professionals I can assure you now that system is another way for the prison service to extort the British tax payers and the government of money. They breed violence and encourage it they target prisoners and inflict psychological abuse upon them in some circumstances leading to self-mutilation, also warehousing mentally ill patients to increase the budgets from the government as well as physical and sexual abuse they are predators trust me.

In May 2011 a prison officer named Mark Gilbert attacked me it was unprovoked on camera with 3 other officers and they subjected me to a brutal, violent and sexual assault Gilbert only being the sexual predator. This complaint was investigated by the prisons and probation ombudsman and upheld Mark Gilbert is referenced in this report which is a legal document please remember this is the victims account for legal reasons.

The prison failed to involve the police however I did write to the (IPCC) and complained about Thames valley police not investigating a crime I complained about who then did a turnaround & recorded my complaint as of date nobody has still been to take a statement or investigate the crime which was on camera clearly protecting this animal who needs to be locked away he also resigned before the disciplinary hearing could take place evading capture from both the prison service and the police.

This is criminal and was condoned and supported by the prison service. The reports witch evidence what I am stating can be obtained from either (MOJUK) or (FRFI) I believe they will be uploaded on line for all to read.

I suffered a number of attacks by these officers and witnessed a significant amount of assaults on others within that system which needs shutting down it does absolutely nothing but breed more violence how many successes it has had!

Since all of this I have had nothing but stalking, harassment, targeting and abuse by the (prison service), (probation service) (NHS) as well as the police trying to abuse processes in order to try and put me in prison.

I’ve found myself in a position where I’m suffering significant & severe levels of corruption and I don’t seem to be getting any help I have been suffering with a very bad injury to my left foot and ankle now since (2013) I am being constantly denied medical care and treatment I am genuinely suffering in pain and discomfort in a bad way I cannot walk on my foot it’s that bad.

But this is taking place in my opinion because my solicitor has lodged a personal Injury claim against the (MOJ) for creating the injury it’s my belief that the (NHS) who’s in big business with the (high security prison estate) who controls the (high secure mental hospitals) is being influenced by the (MOJ) into covering up the true extent of my injury so the (MOJ) doesn’t have to pay for the damages it’s very sick evil and depraved staff have created (March 2017) (HMP Doncaster) I was attacked again unprovoked on (CCTV) by a prison officer Dan Greggory who is referenced in the internal report completely by the prison who was subsequently dismissed from the prison service it’s needs to be recognised the management were professional in this respect.

I was then sent to (HMP Lindholme) where after 8 days of my arrival I was assaulted by another prison officer on camera again unprovoked the (police prisons investigations team for South Yorkshire) investigated and failed to submit the evidence to the (CPS) for a charging decision they basically covered up a crime to protect the officer.

Whilst the investigation was on going I was transferred to (HMP Wealstun) were six officer greeted me upon my arrival it needs to be noted I arrived in a wheelchair due to my foot being so bad I was then told by (six prison officers including to senior managers) to get out of the wheelchair

I was going to the segregation I explained I could only walk a short distance aided with a crutch long term I had to use a wheelchair for mobilizing I was told no you can walk you’re going to the segregation I said could I please speak to health care as I could point them in the direction of the information which would outline my injures I was told no you can’t I said I need to speak to healthcare before I could say another word literally six officers attacked me dragged me out of the wheelchair smashing my head off the floor then kneeing me and punching me at no point was I resisting I was the picked up in midair above the heads and carried to the segregation and put in a cell around ten minutes later four different officers came into the cell not small guys they surrounded me and said we want your trainers.

I explained I needed to see healthcare I had just been assaulted also that my trainers were prescribed medically I was told give us your trainers before I could even finish asking for healthcare again they assaulted me again punching and kneeing one officer tried to break my back with some (UFC) body slam I was then stripped naked and they left the cell.

I was in a cell with no toilet, sink or bed just four walls and a floor it I went to the corner of the cell to empty my bowels. Whilst in the corner naked knelt down the officers tried to come back into the cell again. So I threatened them so they would leave the cell in fear for my life genuinely.

After ten minutes or so five officers came running through the cell door without warning with a (shield and helmets) into an empty cell with no moveable objects and just a naked man they rammed me into the corner and beat me severely, fractured my ribs and smashed my head off the floor I was dragged around into another cell and then had some six foot eighteen stone meat head kneel down on my back and try his hardest to try and snap my shoulder blade off my body by prizing it out and pushing my shoulder in he then started to push his fingers into the back of my ear with real force trying to stop me breathing they then ran out of the cell and left me naked with no food or medical assistance or pain relief that’s (“3” assaults in one hour) a human body is not designed to take that much trauma.

5 days later when all the bruising and spelling went down I was taken to (Harrogate and district hospital) were I was told my (ribs were fractured) and my (rotator cuff in my shoulder was broken) as well as further trauma to my (back), (foot and ankle) leaving me unable to walk and in a lot of pain all the prison staff did was provoke and abuse me.

A few weeks later I was transferred to HMP Moorland early December with six outstanding hospital appointments which I had in print black and white. I was kept at HMP Moorland until April the 20th, on my release I was not allowed to attend one hospital appointment. TI’m told it’s been assessed and I no longer fit the criteria for those appointments, they just disappeared. Basically it’s just more criminality and corruption to cover over my injures and protect the animals, bullies and predators the created them.

I am wheelchair bound cannot stand and suffer in agony with my shoulder as well as a lump on my spine it makes me sick. How is it that this treatment of a human being is allowed to happen in a country that values humanity and human rights.

The week before my release the prison told me a special van would pick me up to take me to the hostel probation have put me in due to me being wheelchair bound, I said fine they told me this 3 times. On the day of my release I get pushed to reception, whilst being processed I was asked how I would be getting to the hostel. I said the prison had sorted it as far as I was aware of. They told me nobody had arranged this and I had to make my own way back. I said how is that possible I cannot walk I am awaiting a social care assessment. They said it’s not our problem once you go out of those gates we don’t care. I said can you ring me a taxi, they told me no, you can go round the corner to the shop it’s five minutes down the road. I said what is this you know I can’t walk you’ve just provided a carer for the last 3 months it’s not our problem if been told by the governor to push you out and leave you.

That’s exactly what they did how evil. I had to with one leg and one arm push myself up a little hill and then down the road suffering in pain they had the cheek to laugh at me struggling until a maintenance man working on the road helped me I then got in a wheelchair friendly taxi and took to the train station where the (virgin train staff) really helped me very nice and decent people witch needs to be recognised.

I then got a taxi at the other end to the probation hostel once I got to the hostel I had the same reception as the leaving from prison no help and told we are not here to push you around you will have to get residents to help you I’m basically being isolated and left to suffer with no help it’s just corruption and abuse of somebody who’s vulnerable and disabled.

Everything I’m stating can be checked factually against evidence (paperwork) witch I have copies of all my complaints to (NHS England) & other (healthcare providers) I can prove corruption and criminality by legal and supposedly professional government bodies. The assault is currently being investigated by the (prisons and probation ombudsman) and again as of yet no police have been to see me.

The corruption is clearly going to quiet a senior level because I have all my complaints (prison) (NHS) (probation) & (police) what you are reading is real and does not contain any lies. I am suffering serious levels of abuse (real abuse) my health is really bad I cannot walk. Please spread this story and article to spread awareness and expose these corrupt and criminal animals so they cannot carry on targeting and abusing people such as myself.

You probably read articles from people such a Kevan Thakrar, Ross McPherson and George Black let me tell you now if spent time with all 3 of these people and they are receiving the same levels of abuse as me just in different ways I can promise you that I witnessed it first-hand but all they are doing is picking certain individuals it’s very weird and strange.

Thank you for taking your time to read this it’s very much appreciated #spreadthestory.
